The year 2010 is less than two weeks old but already there's a lot of news, such as:
1. Rod Blagojevich A/K/A Mr. Scum, told Esquire Magazine than he's "blacker than Obama" (in addition to using the "C" word to describe Ill. Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan). Actually TNB has learned that as an infant Rod was found in the weeds by Alabama sharecroppers who gave him up to a Serbian family after raising him with black values.
2. Mark McGwire finally confessed to steroid use absolutely shocking the baseball world. Actually TNB has learned that Sammy Sosa will confess that his skin whitening cream caused his enormous bulging muscles as well as his loss of any use of the English language.
3. Rudy Giuliani, who became "America's Mayor" in the aftermath of 9/11, stated that under Bush there were NO domestic terror attacks as compared of course to Obama who has had Ft. Hood, Detroit, etc. Actually, TNB has learned that Rudy is just the latest victim of "selective Republican amnesia" whereby no one can (or wants to) recall anything that occurred during W.'s 8 years.
All these stories pale, however, compared to the ongoing brouhaha about relocating Jay Leno's failed prime time show and the effect on Conan, Jimmy et al. The biggest problem seems to be what will be shown 5 nights a week in the spot being vacated by Leno. Actually TNB has confidentially learned that NBC is considering the following:
(MON) THE DENTIST Shy but horny young Dr. Jon Filler only can get up the nerve to ask a female patient for a date when her mouth is stuffed with cotton or while she is in a twilight sleep from anesthesia.
(TUE) THE SUPERMARKET Veteran meat department manager Butch Butcher is demoted to the produce department when he announces that he's become a vegan.
(WED) THE AUDITORS Handsome but nerdy beginning auditor Clark Credit is totally intimidated by his superior, gorgeous but smug Debbie Debit. However after the pair uncover a major Ponzi scheme they begin a torrid romance to the shock and awe of their CPA colleagues.
(THU) THE ENGINEER Studious structural engineer Bob Billder is so stressed by the demands of his job that he spends the nighttime hours secretly examining bridge supports.
(FRI) THE RABBI Progressive Rabbi Jenny Maven reaches out to Orthodox, Conservative and Reform Jews by holding group therapy sessions on alternate Shabbats.
With this potential lineup who needs Jay (or Conan or Jimmy or for that matter Dave)?

As far as the Jay/Conan controversy goes, I don't understand why it has been on the front page of the LA Times for almost two weeks -- isn't there more major news that's fit to print? In addition, I don't sympathize with Jay or Conan. I understand, of course, that it is upsetting to have your show re-scheduled. However, NBC had to do something - fast. Their affiliates were suffering and advertisers were dropping like flies. It was time for them to re-enter the game of 10:00 scripted programming.
Now that TNB has advanced the plot outlines, NBC only needs 20 scripts per season for each one. TNB is willing to serve as technical consultant on the Wednesday night show.
What do they pay out there anyway?
NBC would probably be very happy to give you a 10% share of the company in exchange for your services!
Will this come out of 51% share being acquired by Comcast?
I was disappointed to see that there was no room in the weeknight line-up for THE BLOGGER. Tim Typist sits down at his pc each night ready to spit out barbs about the week's news, although secretly he should be working on his novel or a screenplay for his first feature film.
